How to Find a Lesson Plan About Writing a Headline

Writing headlines is essential for anyone going into or already working in the news media.

A simple Google search can often be enough to find a simple lesson plan for headline writing, but specific companies and industry-recognized sources can provide a more reliable and wider range of lesson plans to fit your specific teaching needs.
